Ingredients
  

Chicken Wings

  • 3.5 pounds chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated, wing tips cut off)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder divided
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 0.25 cup hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Rinse chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl.
  • Step 2: Sprinkle kosher salt, half of the garlic powder, ground black pepper, and paprika over the wings. Toss to coat.

  • Step 4: In a medium bowl, mix barbecue sauce, remaining garlic powder, hot sauce, and honey.
  • Step 5: Pour the sauce over the wings, ensuring they are evenly coated. Lid the slow cooker tightly.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, broil them in the oven after cooking. Adjust hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
